Why is water healthy?

Water is not only very healthy for our body, but also essential for various body functions. Our body consists largely of water. Only our blood already consists of more than 90% water. Water therefore plays a major role in the function of our blood, to transport nutrients and oxygen through our body. Inadequate water will cause thicker blood, which has serious consequences for our body. In addition, water also helps to maintain healthy joints, regulates body temperature, helps to eliminate toxins and is healthy for the skin.

How much water does our body need?

All these processes naturally use water. Our body uses about 2.5 to 3 liters of water every day, also by sweating. Probably now you think: "So much water? But I never get that in one day? "That is very bad. You not only get water inside by drinking, but also by eating food. Fruit and vegetables contain a lot of water and other food products consist largely of water. Our body also helps by means of chemical processes. Eventually about 1.5 liters of water remain about what we have to get ourselves through drinking. That is why the advice is always to get at least 1.5 liters of fluid in a day. Not only drinking water counts, but also soft drinks, tea and coffee, although water is of course the healthiest choice.

How can I drink water with water?

In recent years there have been several studies into the effects of drinking water and losing weight. Can you drink weight with water? A study by Brenda Davy of the Virginia Tech in Blacksburg shows that drinking 2 glasses of water before a meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) helps to lose weight. During the study, overweight people were divided into two different groups. One group drank two glasses of water for each meal. The other group did not drink extra water for meals. Both groups followed a diet of about 1500 calories per day. After 3 months it appeared that the group of people who drank water had lost 8 kilos. The group that drank no water before meals had lost 5.5 kilos. This means that the group of people who drank water before the meal had lost 2.5 kilos more after 3 months.

Other research

Another study on water-loss drinking comes from the universities of Oxford and Birmingham. The setup was the same. Overweight people in 2 groups. One group drank half a liter of water for each meal. The other group did not drink extra water. Although no strict diet was followed here, the group who drank water had lost 2.4 pounds after 3 months. The other group only 1.2 kilos. Here, too, it appears that losing weight with drinking water is very possible, but how is this actually possible? Cold water drinking.

Why do you lose weight with drinking water?

Both studies have not reached a good conclusion for the exact reason why people who drink water have lost more. There are, however, some theories about losing weight with drinking water. Drinking water before meals would ensure that people would eat less during meals. The first study showed that the group who drank water ate about 13 percent less. In that case, the water helps to become saturated and gives a full feeling, so you are less likely to eat too much. A possible explanation is also that the content of the stomach becomes smaller due to the water present. A third possibility is that water immediately helps with weight loss, because your body can clean itself better.

To lose weight? Drink more water!

Drink more water in hot weather. Although an exact reason was not found in both studies, we can conclude that losing weight with drinking water is very possible. Of course you do well to have your diet in order to have maximum benefit from drinking water. Note: drinking too much water is not good either. Our body can not continue to process unlimited water. Do not drink more than 4 liters in one day and certainly not more than 1 liter per hour. Otherwise there is a risk of water poisoning, which in some cases even makes it possible to die. Do you want to lose weight? Add half a liter of water to your schedule for each meal. This way you can lose extra weight. Drinking weight with water is possible, as both studies show.
